INTERESTING AS WE FINISH OUT THE WEEK. DOWNTOWN, CLOUDS HAVE ROLLED IN, WERE 48 DEGREES WHICH IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE WINDS GUSTED TO 45 MILES AN HOUR IN THE METRO BUT THE SAME WINDS PUSHED US UP TO A RECORD-SETTING DAY. 58 DEGREES. THE OLD RECORD WAS 57 IN 2002. IT WAS A RECORD OUT THERE. WE MENTION THIS YESTERDAY, I THOUGHT WE WOULD SEE SOME 60’S AND THEY HAD THEM. NORTHERN IOWA IN THE 40’S AND COLDER AIR OVER IN SIOUX CITY. TONIGHT THE WINDS ARE QUIETING DOWN. THEY WILL PICK BACK UP TOMORROW. COLDER AIR MOVING IN, BELOW FREEZING BY MIDNIGHT. TOMORROW WE WILL START TODAY AT 26 DEGREES. ALL THE AREAS IN BLUE, WINTER STORM WATCHES INCLUDING NEWTON OVER INTO GRENELL PIVOT DOWN AROUND MAHASKA COUNTY, AND BACK IN THROUGH KANSAS. COLDER WEATHER, MOISTURE RUSHES ON IN. ONE WAVE OF PRECIPITATION TOMORROW LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND THEN THE LOW WILL BUCKLE AND THROW MORE SNOW IN HERE AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY. I, TOMORROW MORNING A LITTLE MIXED DOWN IN SOUTHEASTERN IOWA. SNOW POTENTIALLY IN THE METRO, AT 4:00 SOME ICE OFF TO THE EAST. THAT MOVES OUT, A LOW SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN WATCH HOW THIS PIVOTS. THIS DETERMINES THE WHOLE FORECAST FOR THE METRO. HE SAID THIS, A GOOD CHANCE OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AS THE SYSTEM WINDS UP AND PULLS OUT AND EVEN DROPS MORE SNOW AS WE HEAD OVER ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. ICE TRACKER, MOST OF THIS WOULD BE TOMORROW, LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. YOU CAN SEE SOME SLICK SPOTS FROM LAMONI TO OTTUMWA. AN EARLY LOOK AT THE SNOW TRACKER, DON’T EXPECT THIS TO EXACT AMOUNT, BUT IT SHOWS YOU THE POTENTIL AS YOU SLIDE TO THE EAST, HOW IT PICKS UP AND TAPERS NORTHWEST. ALL OF THIS WITH THAT SECOND WAVE THAT WOULD ARRIVE SATURDAY. WE WILL GET SNOW TOMORROW NIGHT BUT THAT WILL BE LIGHT AND THEN IT PIVOTS IN SOME HEAVIER SNOW. QUITE A CONTRAST AS YOU HAD 60 MILES EAST AND WEST OF THE METRO. WE ARE IN THE AREA THAT HAS THE MOST QUESTIONS WITH IT. 24 DEGREES, THE WINDS PICK BACK UP TOMORROW. I SNOW CHANCE INCREASES, DEFINITELY COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR EVENING COMMUTE. 29 DEGREES, NORTH WINDS 15-25. SNOW CHANCES FRIDAY, THE LOW SATURDAY AND THEN ANOTHER WEEK SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH SUNDAY. COULD BE MORE MEASURABLE SNOW, THEN ON TUESDAY WE BOUNCE I
